To this day I truly believe Saving Private Ryan is the greatest war movie ever released. Released in 1998, directed my Steven Spielberg, and the highlight of Tom Hanks legendary career, this movie is phenominal. Saving Private Ryan follows a platoon of soldiers as they travel through Germany. They have been given the order to find a soldier named Ryan. They have been given the unfortunate task of having to tell him that his brothers (soldiers them selves) have been killed in action. The problem is that they don't know exactly where Ryan is. So the movie shows us the journey that this platoon has to go through to find Ryan. And once they do, something comes up that makes their job a lot harder. This movie would go on to win many pest picture awards, but somehow not at the Oscars. It still baffles me how the academy didn't name this as the best movie of the year. Perfect directing, acting, cinematography, set design, and just about everything else makes this the greatest war epic to ever hit the silver screen.
